About this map

Redwood Falls sits at the confluence of the Redwood River and the Minnesota River, serving as a central hub for this portion of southern Minnesota. The landscape is defined by the deep carving of the river valleys through the surrounding prairie, with the Ramsey Park Swayback Bridge marking a point of local interest near the town center. The area is notable for its numerous burial sites and small settlements, including Beaver Falls and North Redwood, which reflect the long-standing community footprint along the river bluffs.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the multiple cemeteries and burial plots recorded here, such as the Camp Pope Burial Plot and the Valentine Appel Burial Plot. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the Redwood Falls Municipal Airport and a network of county ditches, like County Ditch Number Fiftytwo, which manage the drainage of the fertile agricultural lands stretching beyond the river valleys.
